If a paddle dies, it becomes a wall. If all paddles die, it's game over and you restart by clicking on the screen.

When the ball becomes pink, you can parry it by clicking at the right time; doing so will result in the ball becoming faster, in turn, increasing the damage output. Those are some nice ideas, I plan on releasing the game on mobile if I win the jam, might include these if it does happen that I win. Thanks for playing!
